WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE DO

The idea for Yoko's Dogs came about in 2006 around a small tin table in Montreal when the four of us, living in different places and time zones, got together and decided to explore collaboration as a way of expanding our individual practice. Over the first few months we wrote and revised, and wrote some more; read and studied and discussed the traditions of Japanese-style linked verse, all via email. We chose a system of composition and eventually decided that for readers the mechanics of this system should disappear, the way forms for moulded concrete are knocked away once the work is finished.

ONE-MINUTE POEM

Now it’s November, how about this: “Snow coming down the mountain”? Jane Munro reads a one-minute poem from her new book , Glass Float.

WE WERE ALL A BIT GIDDY

We Were All a Bit Giddy sudden squall crossing the canal a line of geese all night the wind chimes’ three notes above the rumble of surf a man on a scooter with a burlap sack a dog’s head poking out we were all a bit giddy must have been the full moon
